The Broadway musical has greatly influenced both American and world culture. Shows such as Oklahoma ! and Annie get Your Gun are as American as apple pie, while the long runs of imports such as Cats, the phantom of the Opera, and les Misérables have broken records. Since the late 19th century, the genre has remained one of the most popular in entertainment, and its history is related in detail in this Historical Dictionary of the Broadway Musical.
